LOUISVILLE. KY, May 3.-The Hon. Jno.G. Carlisle
arrived here yesterday from his home In Coving-
ton. he comes TO attend the state democratic
convention OF which, IL is generally understood.
he viii be chairman. lie is accompanied by Mrs
SMhsie The Courier journal this morning pup
fishes the following interview with him: Said the
reporter: "rhere Is a good deal OF curiosity In
hehtucki 10 know whether you are a candidate &c
succeed Mr. Beck In the United states senate"
MT Carlisle replied; 1.-TWO or three months ago
! said, In substance that although not a candl-
dale Tor the Office, would accept Il n elected.
This was regarded, In some quarters as an an
nouncement OF my candidacy. IL was certainly
NOT intended by me 10 convey the Impression THAI
! was then. or would under any circumstances,
become candidate, and am glad OF this oppor-
tunity TO correct that impression wherever It
NOT CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE
II nave no desire TO so 20 the Senate, and do NOS
wal, my name considered In connection with the
position. In fact, do not know that it has been
thought OF 10 any considerable extent I'm making
nominations for the legislature otherwise but
letters received by me from various parts OF the
State indicate that there are some who regard me
as one OF the aspirants for the place. II am 10
remain In public life at all seat I'm the House OF
Representatives is entirely satisfactory 20 me-
and can serve the people There at least well
In the Senate"
..What DO you think OF the prospect for a reduc-
tion OF the tarir by the next Congress-"
THE MKT HOUSE WILL TRY TO REDUCE TIRE TARIFF
II can only give you my opinion 50 Tar as the
House Is concerned, replied Mr.. Carlisle. 81 be-
lleve the next House win unquestionaby pass a
bill 10 reduce very materially the customs duties
l do not, however, expect 70 see the passage OF
such bill as the revenue reform Democrats would
like 10 have. But think there viii be a substan-
tial reduction. You see we have now arrived at
main in Hans horn
taxation is absolutely necessary. The sentiment
for a reduction OF the tartn is growing steadily,
especially ia the Northwest.
REPUBLICANS WILL HELP TO DO 1T.
"The bill reducing the tariff must be passed,
however, with the help OF republican votes. The
detection I'm our ranks caused by Mr. Randall and
other protectioniss VIII put IL out the power or
the democrats 10 pass tariff revision bin unless
they are aided 10y revenue reiormers from ths
republican ranks IL viii not be diicult 10 obtain
a sufficient number OF recruits, i'm my opinion The
republicans I'm the West and Northwest are get
ting more and more nervous on the tarin question.
republican Senator OF prominence and ability
said 10 me, short time ago, that the next Con-
gress must do something toward reducing the
tariff or there would be an open revolt ON the part
| OF the people"
'ls there any likelihood that the scheme TO re-
| peal the internal-reyenue taxes Will succeed?"
IL think there Will be nc repeal OF the Internal
taxes, and there certainly ought not TO be- Yet IL
might occur in the efforts TO get through bill
| duclng the tariH that some compromises should
4 be made. In such state of case the tobacco tax
might be repealed. ! see Senator sherman talks
about reducing the tobacco tax. In nv opinion. IL
that tax is disturbed at all t ought 10 be repealed.
| IL Is now cents per pound and IL would look
like trifiing about small things 20 simply reduce
1 should be left undisturbed."
81 presume, Mr.. Carlisle" said the reporter,
''that MIR. Clevelands administration is now old
enough Tor an intelligent observer 10 form estl-
mate OF II. 1 would be glad 10 know what you
| think OF IT,"
| STRONG PRAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
| president Cleveland has given 10 the country O
safe, strong, clean and healthy administration
The complaints that he has not turned the repub-
lican Office holders out rapidly he should are
| exaggerated. lie has acted as he honestly be-
lleved for the best interests the country and his
party. and you viii lind upon investigation that he
Is very strong With the people. He has made US Q
good President. l think he is the most industri-
GUS man ever saw. Mr.. Cleveland desires moth
and the just commendation OF the country. These
| he cannot fail TO have"
as there not some just cause OF complaint con-
| cerning his somewhat supercilious treatment OF
1 men who hold Office under him?"
| Brightly understood, there is not. Mr.. Cleve-
land you must remember, held the Office of sheriff
In Erie County, NY, and after that he was mayor
| OF Buffalo. In both OF these positions he was
brought into direct contact with his subordinates
who required, no doubt, careful attention, and In
| this way he acquired the habit OF personal SUPER
vision OF appointees. That habit, doubtless sticks
TO him In some degree. IL would be strange n fJ
did not. You see, he came very rapidly from the
| mayoralty through the governorship into the
Presidency. No mans elevation was ever more
| rapid. In Mr. Cleyelands case some little time
must be allowed for him 10 accustom himself TO his
\ new surroundings.
| CLEVELAND HAS MADE NEW ENGLAND DOUBTFUL
| There Is another thing L want to say about
| MI. Cleveland With him a candidate for re-
election, New England viii be doubtful. You
| would be astonished TO find the number OF busi-
| ness men in the republican party In Massachu-
| settS and all New England who are for Mr.. Cleve-
| land. When was In Boston, short time ago,
| was amazed to learn that the republican members
OF several prominent clubs were practically solid
for Mr.. Cleveland There is another good thing,
! TOO. about those mugwumps as We call them.
/ In hey
properly cultivated they will not be long getting
\ INTO the democratic party, where they will be
| mugwumps no longer, but just as good democrats
| as the rest OF u.s."
| EVILS OF FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION.
| 'Getting back 10 the Treasury surplus for
moment, what have you TO say about the several
plans proposed for getting rid OF that surplus
| without reducing taxation?"
"They are all jobs and tricks, and unworthy Of
| serious consideration. Now let look for a
| moment at the bill providing Tor federal aid TO
education. It's effects must be apparent TO every
| Intelligent observer. The promoters OF that
scheme say that the Federal appropriations would
not continue longer than eight years. say, once
| begun, they would continue for thousand years
| and why? The reason is plain. Tue certain effect
| or Federal aid would be the decentralization and
ultimately the destruction OF state systems OF
| education. AT the end OF the eight years the
states would be entirely dependent on the General
Government for an educational fund, and Federal
| ald would then be necessity from which there
| would be no escape"
